A prenuptial agreement should be completed at least 3-6 months before your wedding date
Getting a prenuptial agreement requires careful planning and open communication between both parties. The ideal timing allows for thorough consideration of all financial matters and legal requirements.
Here are key reasons to start the prenup process early:
- Ensures both parties have adequate time to seek independent legal counsel
- Reduces potential claims of duress or pressure near the wedding date
- Allows time for thoughtful negotiation and financial disclosure
- Provides opportunity to make revisions if needed
- Creates a less stressful experience by avoiding last-minute rushes
Starting early demonstrates that both partners are approaching the agreement with transparency and good faith, which strengthens its legal validity.
